Ancient Thirst
It’s now time for me to empty my soul
roll into the abundance of silences
to hear my voice.
It’s now time for me to pour myself into
the chalices of some restless hearts
and let my intoxication be the exhilaration of others.
It’s now time for me to become one
with the vastness of the ocean
and let all the waves come crashing to shatter my pride.
It’s now time for me to light the candles
and let myself be a firefly, entering the periphery of your light
and become immortal.
It’s now time for me to wear the charms you gave me once
feel the warmth of your invisible embrace
and let my heart thaw.
It’s now time for me to be what I haven’t been before
sip the night in ecstasy
from your sacred tranquil lips.
It’s now time for me again
to write nights in your name
and be afraid to lose to my stars once again.
It’s now time for me to hear the heart of the ocean
throbbing in a seashell, washed off the shore
a heart very similar to yours.
